2014 UK Property Prices To Increase Further

UK Property Prices Continue To Increase

There could be more good news for UK property investors over the coming months as projections for the rest of 2014 indicate that property prices are set to rise even more, providing the potential of greater Return On Investments (ROI).

Since the UK housing market crash in 2008, UK property prices slumped and were depressed for some time afterwards due to uncertainty in the economy, however, the end of 2013 saw the UK property market spring back to life.

The data from Halifax is great news for property owners and shows that the UK property market is well and truly back on its feet. So, if you’re a property investor who is planning on investing in property in 2014, you can expect to see property prices continuing to rise.

2014 started with residential property prices on the increase and more people buying and selling. The introduction of the 2nd phase of the Government’s Help-To-Buy scheme in October 2013 allowed property purchasers to get 95% Loan-To-Value (LTV) mortgages, heralding the return of the first-time buyer to the UK property market.

UK Property Prices Rise Most in Six Years

Residential Property Prices Continue To Increase

UK residential property prices have increased by 0.4% in May 2013, the biggest monthly increase since May 2007, as, according to Hometrack Ltd, a shortage of available residential properties boosted average property values in London.

Average residential property prices in England and Wales have seen a gradual increase in value during the last six months with property prices increasing gradually, while London property prices have jumped 0.9% over the same timeframe.

Demand for residential property in the capital has surged 15% in the past six months alone, while supply of available properties has fallen 0.6%.

Richard Donnell, Director of Research at Hometrack said, “The impetus for rising house prices is originating almost exclusively from London and the South East. Elsewhere housing market conditions are improving gradually, with prices trending slowly upwards.”

The Government initiative to ease the strict lending conditions set by lenders has improved the overall health of the UK property market but the Funding for Lending scheme needs to be backed by more solid initiatives.
